It's all clear! Nothing! Clear and sunny, but cold...

/agree

I drive a VW Jetta, have no problems getting to the Scappoose field; I've been there about a half dozen times or so.

How about a lowered car? Are there any places where the road is impassable to cars that have been lowered? The bilstein suspension I've got lowers my car 1.5", which means I go slow over speed bumps or risk scraping my muffler to sh**. It kinda sucks, but the benefits far outweigh the negatives. I take corners at 40 mph when there's nobody around, rock the fishtail. I love my car.

Well, uh... Yes, that will happen.

Smart car modders get airbags instead of lower springs (or the morons who cut their springs *cringe*) so they can raise the car back up at will for driving on pesky things like "roads" and "pavement".

The last few hundred yards are a bit bumpy as far as the gravel goes. If you are worried about speed bumps, you're guaranteed not to like the last leg of the road up there. You might want to park at the Fred Meyer on Hwy 30 and arrange to have someone with more ground clearance to pick you up for the last bit of the drive.

Well have you been to Mac? If you have made it up there in your car you can definitely make it to Scappoose.

If not, we can probably give you a ride from Fred Meyer.

You should be aware, that to get to almost all the fields we play at. Requires driving on gravel or dirt roads.

I know. I went to the CQC training event, but I remember it being really rough for a while. And you need to be a RICH car modder to afford airbags. I've seen airbag suspension running as high as $10,000. That's more than my car is worth, man, and I don't have that kind of money.

This game is at the same field as the CQC training that Casca held. ;)

Can I park at the Fred Meyers and hitch a ride with someone? What time will I need to be in the parking lot?
